Immediately after the convention adjourned
the committee met at the United States Hotel. on
motion OF John mccarthy, Of Kings, District Attor-
ney Ridgway, who only returned from Europe
Yesterday, was made temporary chairman, and
phli; IL. Backus was continued as clerk. Mr..
cooper offered resolution that the committee
proceed with the election OF a chairman. but the
delegates were hungry and wanted to catch
trains, and the motion was laid on the table The
committee then adjourned to meet at the Hon.
man House next Wednesday, when preparations
will be made TO begin the fall campaign.
The administration men are largely in the ma
1Orlty. The ant1-administratiOn men are: John
O'Brien, ia tine 18th; Charles Preston, 18th: John
Foley, goth; Clinton Beckwith, oath; Charles
Brown, 26th and Patrick Sutley, 3lSt The other
twenty-six delegates solid for the admnistr,,-
ton, including rammany Hall, the County demo-
Gratis and Kings County. The chance OF electing
a chairman avcwedly hostile to the admnistra,
tioL is as remote as the election OF Blaine repub-
lican TO the position The contest between Messrs.
Herrick and Murphy admits OF no such conSidera-
ton or possibility. Mr.. Murphy is as strong
friend OF MI. Cleveland as there is On the COM
mittee He has had the double advantage OF sery-
Ing both the National and State administrations
and has had the shrewdneSs to obtain the dispo-
sition OF patronage from both. or late he has o.
tanned more ravors from Albany, and some or his
enemies have attempted to make 1t appear that he
was therefore, at lOggerheads with the powers,
that be at Washington. The people behind Mr.
Herrick are the friends OF Mr.. Manning more than
OF Mr. Cleaveland. From the time the first State
committee was formed Albany has claimed the
chalrmanShip. SO far as the contest between
Troy and Albany is concerned, the anti-adminis-
tratlOn men On the committee will form but q
very small factor. The ant1-administration peo-
pie lost vote by the rejection OF Irving Hall and
the retirement OF Nick HaughtOn, and In the four
teenth by the defeat OF Lawrence D. Huntington.
JAS. 5. Slev1n, who succeeds HaughtOn, Is Tam
many man, and therefore administration while
Col. JAS. j. Mooney, who, by the success OF the
Standardization combination, Is elected in the
fourteenth, is a county democrat and administra-
t1on The defeat OF Deshler In the twenty third is
defeat for the opponents OF the administration.
They met with another reverse In the thirty
by the retirement OF VIM BOokstaver.
